Yes, catalyst regeneration can often restore activity and prolong catalyst life. Techniques such as thermal regeneration, *chemical treatment*, and oxidative regeneration are commonly used. Thermal regeneration involves heating the catalyst to burn off fouling deposits, while chemical treatments can remove poisons. Oxidative regeneration uses controlled oxidation to remove carbonaceous deposits. However, repeated regeneration cycles can also contribute to sintering and thermal degradation, so it’s a balance between restoring activity and avoiding further deactivation.
